Whether they own a dog themselves or know a dog that lives with a family member or friend, the reader will never look at a dog in the same way again. Good Boy is an exceptional way for children and adults to learn how their dog may be thinking in certain situations and help them understand dogs better. As poetry written from a dog's perspective, Good Boy is a very well thought out and deeply relevant piece of work.
